I'm affraid that there will not be a best ROM for a long time as everyone has different needs (software etc) that can cause bugs with other parts of a ROM and these are addressed and solved by many ways (reg, .cab, new rom versions) Your gonna have to find the best one for you and stick with it until a rom of interest surfaces for you. All the great ROM cookers and bug analysis guru's provide great detail on their posts to what version it is, whether it's a new build, what radio is included, what bugs they have addressed, what software they have put on by default plus optional.
Keep an eye on this to find your ideal rom but we all have to sacrifice something...
But i hope you find your ideal rom and give credit where credits due as these guys and girls work hard to give us what they do!!
Enjoy and be part of the solution..
Ps.
My best rom so far is oem 02.02.02. It misses a few features like automated pushmail and has a small memory leak that needs a soft-reset from time to time. But has more of what i do need. Still looking for my Ideal rom.
Happy searching and posting...

Best WM6 rom for the universal (im using mda-pro NL) is in my opinion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306552
regards..
a>

like as mentioned many times bevore, if jou want to have a ROM that is stable and no problems than you sould go back to WM 5.
WM6 is still in BETA, meaning we are all testing and experimenting.
I'm not offending you, but all of us are downloading a lot of ROMs and trying them. There is no perfect WM6, and if you spend a little time reading the forums you would allready know this answer.
There were more people who asked this question and the all got the same answer.
As said don't get me wrong but somethimes I just think the forom is getting to quick spam posts like this.
Any way, I hope you'll find a appropriated ROM that will work for you.

Best, most stable WM6 ROM?

Hi all
Which is (in your opinion) the most stable and reliable WM6 ROM for the Tornado? Please post a link as well
Cheers!

Good lord, tony. Don't you do a reading of the forum topics before you post questions? There's already 3 pages of responses here. You want to restart the same topic? Find the different ROMS; read what the users have said about it; and do your own testing. Every developer works hard on their ROM. I for one am not going to diss one developed ROM over another. Each one has it's strengths; each one has it's faults. If you want to get into the custom ROM upgrade business, you will have to take some initiative of your own.
(gets down from soapbox)

Thanks for the reply.
All I was asking was for peoples opinions on which ROM they thought was the most stable. Not to diss one over the other. To be honest I can't be arsed reading through 3 pages of responses about problems. I just wanted a few recommendations to save me having to load ROM after ROM finding the best one is the last one I try and the one that someone may recommend here.... saving me time.

All the cooked ROMs here are THE best. The best is the one that suites you best!

Don't get me wrong, i'm sure they all work great. I was just after some opinions. I'm not here to wind people up.
I guess i will just have to try them all.

i like the perfect english one best.

Nitro's, EA's (Chinese, but it has English) and VJGrace's are the most current and developed builds.
They are all based on the most current build (or is it kernal?) of WM6. They climbed up on the sholders of some internet giant (or giants?) referred to as Shark, and modified that ROM and even versions of each others ROM (vjgraces appears to be the current cumlination of all the best that Nitro and EA had to offer.
Nitro will soon take Shark's newest build (updated I presume to MS' most current improvements) and vj's wonderful imporvements, throw in an inspired dash of his own ideas and make a ROM so good your phone will sneer with contempt at other people's phones.

Same thread, but specific post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1625796&postcount=43
EA's ROM is extremely stable and worth using. Newer doesn't always mean better, and if you need Chinese language, the one I've linked to is the best.
Having said that, EA's ROM is based off Nitrogenous' ROM. vjgrace's ROM is based off EA's ROM with significant improvements.
If you don't need Chinese support, vjgrace's ROM is in a sticky thread at the top of the forum.

Whats so great about Dutty's ROMs?

So, for those of us that are a little slow...
What is it about Dutty's ROMs that make people go CrAzY over them?
I'm looking for specifics. Why do people love Dutty's ROMs sooooo much? What makes them so much better than say Q-mobile or Alex's ROMs?
I just get the feeling that I am missing something that everyone else knows about why Dutty's stuff is so popular compared to the other ROMs.
There has to be a good reason... anyone care to clue me in?

Dive on in and find out for yourself. Some people don't like his ROM's others do as you can see. There are some really great Chefs out there and they all make really good ROM's. You should flash to see which ROM you prefer more. As some ROM's have specific drivers that only work with radio 1.27.14.09.

whats great about any cooked rom is tha the cook who created it shares it with us!!!!!

Theres nothing about, every cook on here is great. Every cook has their own style, the tweaks, the softwares...
But Dutty's is very popular, because we have alot of new members, they just learned how to flash, and now they need roms. Dutty's rom, has the the biggest threads, everyone makes it exciting, and the new members join his thread.
But I use Dutty's and Schaps, both great roms.

Hey sorry to drive this thread into hell, but does it take super C++ skills to do this or is it just "simply" putting things together then compiling it?
I didn't like Duttys roms BTW, I love what he is doing and I like he has provided us with some OEM CABS, but his rom isn't for me I liked Shaps because it came with a bunch of stuff to customize it to the limits.

Theres a rom tool now Makes cooking alot easier. To me its about making everything flow together, make sure one software doesn't mess the other up, and getting the right tweaks.

I've tried a few roms and I always go back to dutty roms he always includes applications I use and his tweaking has been really to my liking compared to others

dutty's roms are cool, but i perfer a lite rom and to put my own apps on it . i think most people like dutty's rom because they use the same apps that dutty builds in, + the speed! But, i perfer the highest benchmark results! thats what makes me choose the rom.

Dutty's rom may not be the best rom for you. But he is the most hardworking rom maker here and always comes up w/ latest software. In addition, he is very responsive to questions too.

i second that notion

I agree with raz and I also encourage testing other ROM's as well to find out whats best for you, and our attitude should be: show appreciation (donations or a thank you, people should know that making a ROM takes a lot of effort) and making positive criticisms of flaws; not to personalities ; that benefits the whole Kaiser community.

@ekw: Which lite ROM do you use?

hey i'm new to ppc and pda's. i got a toch diamond and using dutty rom v4. its fast and i like it. also just want to say thanks to xda. you guys run a very good site. oh one other thing i noticed is that my diamond used to have only 85mb storage space but after the rom update i got 115mb

Also fans of Dutty's ROM (Dutty's WM6.1 WWE), for me, just 2 words "fast and stable", like raz said, Dutty's cooked all his ROM well.
I wish he come and upgrading his ROM

beautiful rom...

First of all, please do not go digging on the grave yard, it disturbs the other corpses.
Secondly, since dutty has released a Kaiser rom in well over a year, isn't it time we close this thread. The Kaiser rom forum is cluttered enough without having to read new posts about how people with Diamonds and HD's love duttys roms

Uni Lovers, Our Developers ... Please Enter

i'm posting this thread 2 c whose with me in the idea of building the real ultimate rom for our UNIs
i mean WM6.1 with VT, speed, stability, A2DP, new BT stack ... everything
we have some great minds here guys. Tomal, Luca, VNint and Cotulla
if u guys just contact and think together, I'm sure u'll do it
So, i'm thinking of making a new thread where u guys participate ... like (think out loud) in this thread, and not just the four of u, i mean anyone can add his idea.
U can add registry keys where there's a problem to think about, add cabs .... anything
then finally the rom we're all waiting for is cooked
I want to see some response here guys .. and i want to know what our developers think too
Cheers

well... every develper or cooker has his own visions how a rom have to look like... it's not only bout the design... it's also settings and possibilities.
so i don't think it'll happen and i even don't think it shall happen. cuz when i don't like one rom i take another one and give it a try
just my 2 cents...

It may be worth doing as they have on the Athena site, and start with a clean stable base rom witha large flashdisk so people can add there own cab's and software so others can try it
How about this software to enhance mobile shell
regards
jay

and not only does everyone bring their own flavor to it, like i use my uni like a laptop so i hate things like flash disks and want not, and although im in the US and cannot utilize VT i also know that it wasnt working seince 5.0 had a betaish go in 6.0 and something i saw in efn's 6.1 but i know that it will never really be a reality in 6.1
because every cook makes their own thing, my two best working roms was efn's 2.20 and cotulla's 20757

I think the ultimate ROM has already created by Tomal v8.5!!
Time ago this subject was proposed but I think it´s dificult to get all masters together because their times and ocupations.
Anyway good luck

duly seconded...

Less than 1% of the peoples in the community has interest for VT so it will NEVER be a reality for Uni.
But may be you can bring some brilliant idea in other areas, where most people has interest of it. For instance, "big storage" idea brought by Cotulla.
This is really amazing idea. Somehow he has managed to resize/reformat the DOC (M-Systems chip) area.
I've couple of PM's to consider it. But I'll not work on this unless Cotulla allows others to work on. But here is the principle:
The NK.EXE (of Cotulla's rom) is responsible for resizing the DOC. You can use any ROM once the resizing is done and the storage area will be same (extended) for every rom. But you need to make sure that the rom image you're using is fitting into the allocated area or it will be resulting an unsuccessful (rom) update.
Furthermore, someone can build a tool to do the DOC resizing/repartitioning as Mamaich has build one for BA couple of years back.
cheers

Thanx 4 replying everyone
there's another idea though
how about they don't make the rom together, but just solve the problems together and everyone of them just ontinue building his roms the way he likes
so, we'll get a variety of well cooked roms
like what Tomal said about the storage idea of cotulla. I think we all like it and want it in every rom
they may solve other robelms too, like the speed issues. I really don't like it when my friend's Magician is faster than mine (believe me thats true) in applications an games
and hopefully they will also get the VT working cause its just not fair that we have it and can't use it even if alot of us are not interested
BTW, Tomal, I don't understand what u said about cotulla's storage thing

For mee too Tomal's 8.5 Standard edition is almost perfect. My standard battery pack can withstand for 4 days now(Approx 30 mins GSM calls a day). Stable and fast.

Every developer has his own opinion what is good and what is bad...
If you make a "perfect" ROM. What does that mean? Take four devs and everyone has his own idea for one feature. The "perfect" ROM will be a mixture of four minds. And this one will be crap. Just because it will be the minimal consensus...

I agree.
And every developed ROM some users like, and others don't. Some stick to the previous ROM by a developer, and other users prefer other ROM's... That's what I love about xda-developers is the diversity. I see others enjoying ROM's they like. I'd hate to enforce my likes on others. We all have different needs and uses for our UNI's. I'm sure those that need VT would like to see something developed for them - even if the rest of us disliked the ROM for other reasons.
The ROM I choose is the best for me... it's not necessarily the best ROM (...although I vote it is )
We have speed and stability... Bring on diversity! Let's keep the Uni colourful, let's have the choice! (Where's the button for "freedom of choice!" ).
However with developers that we have/had... Beasty, Leo, VNInt, luca15thebig, Tomal, EFN, FrankZ, No3ulla, rDosti, ThingOnASpring, JWRights, nncuong, PhamQuang, minhantratan... others I forget to mention... I think development continues with no worries. I'm amazed at what ROM I'm looking at on my second-hand Uni!! (considering it's upbringing from WM5, a sub-£100 machine, and no prospect of an upgrade).
nagoo1, what exactly is it you're needing the Uni to do?

i need it to have VT , to respond faster and to have a rom with no issues
and i want it to be smaller (u guys don't deliver this kind of service, do u ?!!!)

VT???
I must have missed it, but what h... is VT? What does it stand for and what does it add to our Universal?

Recommend me a ROM :)

Hiya ppl
I would like to be recommened a ROM that fit my few, but yet important "demands"
Fast response, by fast i mean near-to-instant screen flip when keyboard is slided out, and near-to-instant program launch (You get the drift)
Finger friendly for every day use, standart UI is more stylus friendly than finger friendly.
Im sorry if this is "yet another one of those threads" but the forums is kinda "old" so theres soo many nice roms to choose from

Flash flash flash till you find the ROM you want as it's personal preference on what ROM you will like.

Look at the post counts and you'll get a pretty good idea of which ROMs are most highly thought of. The "recommend me a ROM" question is tough because it's like asking which is "the best" flavor of ice cream or which hair color is best for a girl. Everyone has their own preferences.
I've tried many. I currently am using HyperDragon (2/4 edition) and it's working well for me. I've used about six versions of HyperDragon and liked them all. Have also liked a number of others that are currently in vogue. FWIW.

Hmm ok - i guess ill just try from the top and work my way down ^^

Before anyone starts to flame you, yah, you're going to have to try your own.
I've been running Phoenix 2.3 since it's been out (not very long), and to me, it's one of the best ROMs I've ever tried. Plus, the chefs are very active.
Best of luck.

I am a new kaiser user and tried around 15 ROMs and finally decided to go on with eOS from -888-. It is light and very stable stable. I also liked the fact that -888- is still supporting the ROM.
Another ROM, I liked, is naked edition of AthineOS v.3.2 BlackStone:20757 from b16b. It is also a light ROM with lots of memory available. I wish the cook continued supporting the ROM.
I must say that I appreciate the efforts from all our genius cooks. However, as said before, you need to find the one that suites your taste.

The only other thing I will suggest - if you're going to try out a bunch of ROMs, familiarize yourself with Sashimi. Makes the customization job a ton easier.

The only thing you can do is to look at each ROM, look at its reviews, and try it yourself. The mods HATE this kind of thread and will come down on you with an iron fist.
Read Jimmy's announcement at the top, sir.

i wish i were a mod so my cat would actually work.

ASK HTC OR M$ for a rom recomendation
U have to look and read as this thread is ROM development not ROM RECOMEND
NEXT TIME post the question somewhere else
MODS SHOULD move this thread

My cat works fine thank you:
